Yamini is a combination medicine specifically designed for contraception. It contains two active ingredients.
Composition of Yamini Tablet
Yamini is a contraceptive tablet comprised of:
- Drospirenone: This is a synthetic progestin, a type of female hormone. Its primary function in Yamini is to prevent pregnancy.
- Ethinylestradiol: This is a synthetic estrogen, another female hormone, working in combination with Drospirenone.
| Component | Type of Hormone | Function in Yamini |
|---|---|---|
| Drospirenone | Progestin | Prevents pregnancy by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary or by preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg. |
| Ethinylestradiol | Estrogen | Acts alongside Drospirenone to prevent pregnancy and to regulate the menstrual cycle, providing consistent and predictable periods. |
How Yamini Works
The combined action of Drospirenone and Ethinylestradiol in Yamini helps to prevent pregnancy by:
- Inhibiting Ovulation: Primarily, it works by preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg during the menstrual cycle.
- Altering Cervical Mucus: The hormones can also affect the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
- Thinning the Uterine Lining: It may also alter the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which can further prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
Important Considerations
- Yamini is used for birth control and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- It is essential to understand that while Yamini is effective in preventing pregnancy, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
